About Robert & Suzy Brown

Growing up in Northern Michigan and spending summers there, we have been spoiled with all that Charlvoix and the surrounding area has to offer year round. Our entire family of all ages loves being "up north" anytime of year. We can be your personal concierge to anything in the area.

Robert & Suzy Brown purchased this Cottage in 2015

Why Robert & Suzy Brown chose Charlevoix

We chose this cottage because it has the most beautiful views of the lakefront year round and it's located in the family friendly neighborhood of Pine Point. The close proximity to downtown Charlevoix (2.5 miles) and other nearby towns provides plenty of options when looking for things to do, places to go and see. Within an hour's drive you have plenty to keep you busy ( or not) for an entire summer! Our kid's grew up coming here and it's become a second home to us that we love to share with other people who will appreciate and enjoy it like we do. Knot Just A Cottage is stocked with everything you could want or need. We like to make your stay at the cottage as easy as possible and provide all the necessities you need so you don't have to bring as much.

What makes this Cottage unique

We have a private dock right with boat lift right in front of the cottage that you can easily see from anywhere inside the cottage. Lake views from every room in the house, even the shower in the upastairs master bathroom. Knot Just A Cottage has large picture windows in the living room that allow all that bright sunshine and crystal blue water right through the house. The second floor deck, side decks, and patio offer a quiet and relaxing spot while our lake front deck is where the action is and next to dining patio. We can get in our boat right out front on the dock and go play for the day.

Amazing, beautiful home over looking the lake. Six girlfriends get together every two years , two of our group had never been to Michigan. We stepped into this home and knew our stay would be perfect. The decorating, the amenities, the comfort of the home, the wonderful outside spaces, the fire pit....we took advantage of all these pleasures during our stay. Suzy was awesome to work with and offered many helpful suggestions about eateries and sights to enjoy. Hope to return to this delightful place in the future.

Our 6 day wedding weekend stay here was perfect! It was the perfect relaxing retreat we needed after setting up our wedding venue, seeing all of our family and friends, and our hectic wedding day itself. We could not have asked for a better place. The sunset views over Lake Charlevoix were beautiful, especially with the celebratory bubbly we received from the owner!

Owner's Response:

Tiffanie - Congrats on your wedding! Glad to here everything worked out for everyone and you were able to experience the beautiful sunsets on the lake right from inside the cottage. We'd love to have you back again anytime.

Feel secure in renting. It will not disappoint.

Thank you

We had a wonderful time at Knot Just Our Cottage. Suzy was a wonderful host and went out of her way to answer our questions and help us prepare for our stay. The house was perfect for our family of four. My husband and I and our boys (4 and 8) enjoyed the charming, comfortable home, and especially the gorgeous views of the lake which were visible from the master bedroom, living room and outdoor spaces. The house is in a charming and relaxing neighborhood, but also a short distance from downtown Charlevoix and the neighboring towns of Petosky and Harbor Springs. We found much to do in the area (boating, shopping, going to beaches, visiting a local farm) but also enjoyed just relaxing with our feet up on the gorgeous lakefront deck. We hope to return and have already recommended the property to others.

Owner's Response:

Karen - You really covered a lot of ground during your stay at the cottage. The location of our cottage is unbeatable and we love that our guests can go to a variety of places in under an hour drive!

The lake and deck are waiting for you year round anytime you want to come back.

Thanks,

Suzy
